The Florida Gators dropped signifcantly in both the Associated Press and USA Today/Coaches Polls, but are the highest ranked three-loss team in the AP.

After the Gators suffered their third loss of the season to the Georgia Bulldogs, they dropped to No. 18 in the Associated Press Poll. The Gators fell nine spots after being ranked No. 9 in last week's poll. Georgia benefited from their win over Florida, jumping ten spots to No. 10.

In the USA Today/Coaches Poll, Florida dropped just six spots to No. 17. They sit one spot behind Auburn who also has three losses. Georgia moved up to No. 10.

LSU remains the highest ranked SEC team, coming in at No. 3 in both polls as well as No. 3 in the BCS standings. Georgia is second in the league at No. 10 in the BCS. Florida is at No. 20.
